Step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a place where imagination has room to breathe.
Creating the Lore is a three-night immersive writers workshop designed for both first-time storytellers and experienced authors who are drawn to fantasy and fantasy romance. Set among the peaceful forests and whimsical dwellings of Ancient Lore Village, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to slow down, reconnect with creativity, and devote meaningful time to the stories waiting to be written.
Guided by award winning fantasy author, Cat Rambo, participants will gather for inspiring craft sessions, shared meals, and generous writing time in a setting designed to nurture imagination.
Whether you arrive with a fresh idea, a work in progress, or simply a love of storytelling, you will leave with new pages written and renewed confidence in your creative voice.
The Retreat Experience
For a few quiet days in September, step away from deadlines, distractions, and the constant pull of everyday life to enter a place where your imagination has room to breathe.
Walk forest paths where stories begin to take shape. Sit beside a waterfall with your notebook open. Share meals and conversation with fellow writers who understand the pull of storytelling.
Creating the Lore is thoughtfully designed to balance inspiration, writing time, and community. Each day offers moments of guidance alongside protected time to focus on your work, whether you prefer to write beneath the trees or in one of the Village’s cozy gathering spaces.
The retreat includes:
• Two writing sessions led by Cat Rambo
• Dedicated writing time each day
• Evening gatherings and dinners with fellow writers
• All retreat meals prepared by the Ancient Lore Village culinary team
• A thoughtfully curated swag bag with writing journal and creative prompts
• Access to the peaceful trails and gathering spaces throughout the Village
Meals begin with Thursday’s welcome dinner and conclude with a farewell brunch on Sunday.
